System and method for a paintless dent repair tool

Abstract

A paintless dent removal (PDR) tool includes a detachable head, tubing assembly and handle. The tubing assembly includes a plurality of tubing segments having different lengths that are detachable and interchangeable. The length of the tubing assembly may be adjusted by attaching together one or more of the tubing segments having different lengths. One or more different types of heads may be attached to the tubing assembly depending on the type of dent to be repaired. One type of head includes a t-bar with two ends, each end configured for attachment to one of a plurality of different types of tips.

 a bottom end having a smaller diameter tube attachment including a protrusion, wherein the smaller diameter tube attachment fits within a larger diameter portion of one of the plurality of tubing segments; and 
 
 wherein the first type of head and the handle and the plurality of tubing segments are removably attached to one another. 
 
     
     
       2. The paintless dent removal tool of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of tubing segments include a first tubing segment with a length l 1 , a second tubing segment with a length l 2  and a third tubing segment with a length l 3 , wherein the first length l 1  is greater the second length l 2  and the second length l 2  is greater than the third length l 3 . 
     
     
       3. The paintless dent removal tool of  claim 1 , wherein the first type of head includes a T-bar shaped head. 
     
     
       4. A paintless dent removal tool, comprises:
 a handle; 
 a tubing assembly including a plurality of tubing segments, wherein the plurality of tubing segments have a plurality of different lengths and are removably attached to configure a tubing assembly with a desired length; and 
 at least a first type of head having a plurality of ends, wherein each of the plurality of ends are attachable and detachable to a plurality of different types of tips and wherein the first type of head includes:
 a T bar shaped head including a first end and a second end, wherein the first end and the second end are both configured with a threaded hole for attachment to the plurality of the different types of tips; and 
 a bottom end of the T bar shaped head forms a first smaller diameter tube attachment including a protrusion, wherein the first smaller diameter tube attachment fits within a larger diameter portion of one of the plurality of tubing segments; and 
 wherein the first type of head and the handle and the plurality of tubing segments are removably attached to one another. 
 
 
     
     
       5. The paintless dent removal tool of  claim 4 , wherein the plurality of tubing segments include a first tubing segment with a length l 1 , a second tubing segment with a length l 2  and a third tubing segment with a length l 3 , wherein the first length l 1  is greater the second length l 2  and the second length l 2  is greater than the third length l 3 . 
     
     
       6. The paintless dent removal tool of  claim 4 , further comprising a second type of head, wherein the second type of head includes:
 a T-shaped end portion; 
 an attachment end; and 
 a shaft that tapers in thickness from the attachment end to the T-shaped end portion. 
 
     
     
       7. The paintless dent removal tool of  claim 6 , wherein the second type of head further includes:
 a second smaller diameter tube attachment having a protrusion formed thereon, wherein the second smaller diameter tube attachment fits within the one of the plurality of tubing segments of the tubing assembly of the tubing assembly; and 
 wherein the protrusion engages with an aperture formed within the one of the plurality of tubing segments of the tubing assembly. 
 
     
     
       8. The paintless dent removal tool of  claim 7 , further comprising a third type of head, wherein the third type of head includes:
 a shaft; 
 a pick angled with respect to a shaft, wherein the angle of the pick varies in range from 15 to 45 degrees with respect to the shaft;
 a third smaller diameter tube attachment attached to shaft. 
 
 
     
     
       9. The paintless dent removal tool of  claim 7 , further comprising a third type of head, wherein the third type of head includes:
 a third smaller diameter tube attachment having a protrusion formed thereon, wherein the third smaller diameter tube attachment fits within the one of the plurality of tubing segments of the tubing assembly; and 
 wherein the protrusion engages with the aperture formed within the one of the plurality of tubing segments of the tubing assembly.
